As all of us know, Facebook is a social networking service that we can form a network by inviting our friends. And from which we form a networks, from Facebook we can consider their activities, following the games, add friends, or our network of schools based organizations, local and beyond our domicile.

Since its release to the public on September 26, 2006, now Facebook has been the social networking with the most users in the world. According to official records of Facebook, they currently have to attract about 500 milion active users. Where 50% of that number using Facebook every day.

Below are some interesting facts from Facebook:

-The average user has 130 friends on Facebook.
-There are more than 45 million update the status every day.
-Each month, there are 2 billion photos uploaded to Facebook.
-70% of Facebook users are outside the United States.

Here are some some Positive Impacts from Facebook based on my observation :

*Positive Impacts from Facebook:



1. Strengthen Hospitality
This probably is the usefulness of Facebook the most we can feel. Even with Facebook, we can find the back of people we have ever known in the past.

2. Knowing Potential
In Facebook, there are many useful quiz to find out more about who we really are. However, we also must be careful, because some quiz in Facebook contained in an element of prediction that is banned in Islam.

3. Media Campaign
Clearly, Facebook can be used as a media campaign, you can promoting your Product, Service, Agency, or other things. In fact, at Yesterday's legislative Elections, Some candidates are also using Facebook for the media campaign.

4. Facility discussions

Are You A Facebook Lover?

Are you as what mentioned above?

How frequent do you Facebook?

What do you love about Facebook?

Are you aware that you already obsessed with Facebook?

No idea?

Well, tonight we shall determine if you are a Facebook addict.

Ever since Facebook is launched, it has became the world famous social networking site. Indeed, it is a culture now, a trend. It's like everyone is Facebook-ing and is very rare to find that someone who doesn't has a Facebook account. Most of the people you know does Facebook right? You will considered uncool if you doesn't own one. As far as I know, there is no age limitation to Facebook. It can be your friends, colleagues, relatives, parents or even grandparents. It's just the matter of being an active or a passive user only.

Everyone is talking about Facebook EVERYWHERE! In fact, we are so familiar with Facebook that the term of "Facebook" itself has became a common word among us. So when you start Facebook-ing?
I started since years ago, hardly remember the exact year though. Back then, the popular social networking was Friendster. After Facebook is opened to the world, Friendster was abandoned behind. Most of my friends do have a Facebook account. I don't like being the one left out. So I created mine and my Friendster account is barely alive now.

How frequent do you Facebook? 3 times a week? 3 times a day? or 3 hours per day? For your information, I Facebook everyday. Yes, I love Facebook-ing. I love it until the extend that the first thing I do whenever I get excess to internet, is login into my Facebook account. Honestly, I don't have that kind of habit before I came to university. I don't even realize when has this started and I feel uneasy if I don't Facebook.

My university's friends are examples of active member. I guessed that's one of the reasons why I'm addicted to Facebook. Keeping track with friends is the most common thing to do in Facebook. You get to post your current status on Facebook and your friends can either comment about it or like it ( a link to click on LIKE). In a way of stalking on others, we called it. This is what I normally do. Don't you? Other than that, tagging photos is also a fun thing to do. You either get tagged in others' photo album or tag people in your photos. This make photos sharing easier without needing to transfer the photos to one another. Besides photos, video is available to tag too! I actually recorded a video of fireworks during New Year celebration and tagged each of my friends as a 2011 New Year present for them. Awesome right?

Applications such as games, giving gifts, greetings and many more attracted people to continue active in Facebook. I personally not a fan of those kind of applications. Basically, I just love to update my current status, keep track with my friends' status, exploring their photos and chatting with them. By doing this, I can stay on Facebook for hours.

I did my survey by posting a question on Facebook. This method is really effective, efficient and easy. I got my question answered in no time. You can see it through the time below each of the comments.

My question goes like this:

Hey peoples!!! I need every of your comments. Kindly leave one for me. I really appreciate if you do. Thanks!! =)
So,
Why do you Facebook?

Keeping up with the trend. People announce everything on facebook. assignment deadline, meeting, pen down their feelings etc etc.
And get connected with long lost friends.
Some ppl lazy to send you the pictures, so they use the "tagging" advantage.

So, do you login to your Facebook account right after you open your web browser? Do you Facebook AT LEAST 3 times a day?

If you do, congratulations! You are now officially a Facebook addict.

Facebook anyone?

Have you Facebook?.What do you understand by the term, Facebook?

If you never heard of this, I'll say you are kinda outdated. *oops*

Facebook is globally known for it social networking which connects you and your friends, family, colleagues or even people all around the world!

Facebook was founded by a Harvard student, Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 who is only 20 years old. Facebook originally started from a school-based and then became the world largest social networking today which hits an astonishing number of 300 million registered user..
Back to 2005, Facebook only opened itself to high schools and in 2006, it is opened to everyone. Since then, it has experience tremendous growth, bypassing Myspace in terms of global popularity. A year later, Facebook launched a platform which allows the developers to create application on the network            which includes games, widgets, badges and more.

Facebook offers you the chance to interact with people around you by updating your own status on Facebook and chat with them through a chatbox. Facebook is also available for photo album sharing. tagging your friends in the photos and comment about it.
Besides that, Facebook supports groups and fan pages, allowing businesses to effectively use Facebook as a medium for social networking.
Moreover, Facebook Connect is a function that allows websites to connect with Facebook  and allows Facebook to be used as a universal authentication service.

Now that Facebook has became a part of our culture, a movie about Facebook is produced. Basically, it talks on how Facebook is found and developed into the world's famous social network of today.

I personally don't have the chance to watch it. Please forgive me for not able to elaborate more about this movie. As I know it has been released on cinema for quite sometimes. If you want to watch it, you might need to buy yourself a DVD. Do make yourself some hot popping corns and lay back enjoy the movie.

So, what are you waiting? Facebook now and experience it yourself!


On duty,
Michelle

Carrying On

Hey ya..pstttt! Gosh, finally I'm here. So let me introduce myself a little bit. My name is Nadia and I live in KL. I'm a movie goers especially for the Sci-fi movies. Love to see the newest movie in cinema..but if the movie is no more showing then I will go for other alternative like pirates dvds. (LOL..please do not tell the authorities about this because I'm not their biggest criminal). Besides movie, I also love doing photography.

The life I had before I went to UKM was not as fun as it seems for some people who love to work. Yeah, I found it boring and not what I always dream of and so I made up my mind to further studies in Communication of Information Management at UKM.  As far as I concern, there's no age limit to continue study. So here I am doing this blog  for an English Science Social assignment. 

This is my 1st post and my very 1st blog. Hope you guys can share your opinions about our topic..There will be more post after this. *wink*

Hi everyone!

hurmm...frankly speaking im not used with this blogging stuff. Thanks for Michelle, Yiwen and Nadia for accepting me as a new member in this group. Hopefully i can learn blogging from them.( goshh.. quite outdated isn't it?)

My name is Nurul. Im a first year psychology student in UKM. My age? hehe 22 this year 2011. I enjoy reading books that are related to human behavior and mental process..  

My hometown is Johor Bahru. However now, I live in Kuala Berang, Terengganu..

I think that's enough for now. See ya later! 

Opening Plenary

Good day everyone!

I'm here today to introduce you my second blog. For your information, this blog will be discussing on an social issue which you can see as in our blog title. Facebook Today.

Wondering why blog, why this topic? Well, I have this course English For Science Social and the assignment given is to open a blog and discuss about a social issue in a group. Hence, my group members and I are going to present you on the current hot issue-FACEBOOK.


Our group named TIMES. There will be three of us writing on this blog through the timeline set by our lecturer, Miss Wong.

So let me start by introducing myself first.

You can call me Michelle. I'm a first year student in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia studying Anthropology and Sociology.

I'm from Klang living with a family consists of both parents and three siblings.

Art has been a part of my life for 13 years as my passion for it never fades.

I enjoy watching Korean dramas whenever I'm free. Yes, I'm a Korean fanatic. I listen to Korean music, I watch Korean shows, I like Korean foods, I loves Korean fashion and I want to learn Korean language so badly.

Like any typical girls, shopping is my strength. You give me the money and I can shop 5 hours at least!

I don't like being alone where no one is there to talk with. Silence freaks me out. Seriously.

Now you can see that I'm talkative and sociable. In fact, I can be a good listener too.

Travelling around the world has been my dream since I was a kid. .

In future, I want to succeed in my career and try my best to fulfill my life's goals.

I love my family and friends with all my might.&hearts;.&hearts;.&hearts;

Lastly, my principal will be optimistic is the key to live.

Now, I shall excuse myself
